Wine Enthusiast: " *Best Buy* Real Lambrusco is a rarity in this country, but here it is, purple hued, with just enough fizz to help cut through the fattiness of fine salume. It’s grapy and dry, with hints of anise and herbs that prevent it from being too simple. " (12/2003) K&L Notes: Lambrusco is not part of the upper echelon of Italian wine.

Wine Spectator: "Easy-drinking and tangy, this frothy sparkler features crushed raspberry, white cherry, sliced almond and citrus peel notes. (AN, Web Only-2015)" K&L Notes: Exuberant is the word to describe this wonderful wine.
